Dear Wanda
I am so sorry to hear of Joe's passing. Having known Joe for over 50 years, he was always like the brother that I never had.
Joe always told things like they were...he never "minced" words to appease others. He was honest, sincere, and loyal, especially to those he loved.
I will always remember your wedding and the joy and happiness that we all shared. Maggie always said: "This is what I want for Joe". She knew that you were meant for each other.
I will continue to pray for you and your family.

Wanda and Family,
We are very sorry to hear of Joe's passing. He was our friend for many years and we will miss him. We have lots of memories of Joe, but the ones that will always be closest to our hearts are the times we golfed in the Windsor golf outings. We all had so much fun!! Wanda, please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. He will be greatly missed!!
Love, Jim and Dana Gibitz
